Inspired by the 8 and 16-bit metroidvania / Zelda and specially the Monster World series, Monster Prince And The Eternal Kingdom (previously known as 'Project Explorer') is a procedurally-generated platformer with RPG elements. It's in development since september/2012 and has seen some good progress since then. It will feature different environments, structures like castles, dungeons and more, quests and NPCs, all with a big random world to be explored by adventurers who enjoy old school platform games.
I always loved that Sonic water parallax effect, specially in Sonic 3 when he’s underwater. Now I had the opportunity to implement something like that in my game! Sweeeet!
So being in water for long time wont kill you? I mean there is no oxygen meter when taking breath underwater?
Yeah, I'll implement an oxygen meter. Actually in the beginning the player won't be even able to dive, he'll float.
